While here, fix some typos in the manual page and

This change allows to specify a watchdog(9) timeout for a system
shutdown. The timeout is activated when the watchdogd daemon is
stopped. The idea is to a prevent any indefinite hang during late
stages of the shutdown. The feature is implemented in rc.d/watchdogd,
it builds upon watchdogd -x option.
Note that the shutdown timeout is not actiavted when the watchdogd
service is individually stopped by an operator. It is also not
activated for the 'shutdown' to the single-user mode. In those cases it
is assumed that the operator knows what they are doing and they have
means to recover the system should it hang.
Significant subchanges and implementation details:
- the argument to rc.shutdown, completely unused before, is assigned to
rc_shutdown variable that can be inspected by rc scripts
- init(8) passes "single" or "reboot" as the argument, this is not
changed
- the argument is not mandatory and if it is not set then rc_shutdown is
set to "unspecified"
- however, the default jail management scripts and jail configuration
examples have been updated to pass "jail" to rc.shutdown, just in case
- the new timeout can be set via watchdogd_shutdown_timeout rc option
- for consistency, the regular timeout can now be set via
watchdogd_timeout rc option
- watchdogd_shutdown_timeout and watchdogd_timeout override timeout
specifications in watchdogd_flags
- existing configurations, where the new rc options are not set, should
keep working as before
I am not particularly wed to any of the implementation specifics.
I am open to changing or removing any of them as long as the provided
functionality is the same (or very close) to the proposed one.
For example, I think it can be implemented without using watchdogd -x,
by means of watchdog(1) alone. In that case there would be a small
window between stopping watchdogd and running watchdog, but I think that
that is acceptable.

A user may set ${name}_env variable in rc.conf(5) in order to set additional
environment variables for a service command. Unfortunately, at the moment
this variable is only honored when the command is specified via the command
variable. Those additional environment variables coming from ${name}_env
are never set if the service is started via the ${rc_arg}_cmd variable (for

Some rc scripts in ports (e.g. uwsgi, apache, openvpn) allow for
'application profiles' that usually require the rc script to be invoked
again for each active profile. Because there's no consistent way to
determine the path because it differs between manual/service(8) invocations
and /etc/rc invocations, this leads to patterns like these:
- www/uwsgi hardcodes the script path
- security/openvpn guesses either $_file or $0 based on $0 = /etc/rc
Instead of forcing rc scripts to guess, provide an rc_service variable to
the scripts that gets set appropriately both for direct execution or when a
script is being executed via run_rc_script (e.g. /etc/rc).
This is our analog of an OpenRC variable with the same name, different case
(RC_SERVICE).

Currently, the installer uses pre-created 800KB FAT12 filesystems that
it dd's onto the ESP partition.
This changeset improves that by having the installer generate a FAT32
filesystem directly onto the ESP using newfs_msdos and then copying
loader.efi into /EFI/freebsd.
For live installs it then runs efibootmgr to add a FreeBSD boot entry
in the BIOS.

FreeBSD and industry has been inconsistent in the use of UEFI and EFI.
They are essentially just different versions of the same specification

- EFI support appeared in 5.0 for ia64
- arm64 UEFI support added in 11.0
The AUTHORS section included the folks responsible for the bulk of the
work to bring UEFI support to amd64, but missed those who did the
original work on ia64, the initial port to i386, the ports to arm64 and
arm, and have generally maintained and improved general UEFI support
since then. It's unwieldly to include everyone and would quickly become
outdated again anyhow, so just remove the AUTHORS section.
